Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0580135A1] A two component-type developer for electrophotography showing improved electrophotographic performances and also free from carrier adhesion (undesirable carrier transfer to the photosensitive member and recording materials) is constituted by using a magnetic carrier of 5 - 100 mu m in particle size. The carrier has a bulk density of at most 30 g/cm<3>, and magnetic properties including: a magnetization of 30 - 150 emu/cm<3> under a magnetic field strength of 1000 oersted, a magnetization (residual magnetization sigma r) of at least 25 emu/cm<3> under a magnetic field strength of zero oersted, a coercive force of less than 300 oersted, and a relationship of: ¦ sigma 1000- sigma 300¦/ sigma 1000 </= 0.40 wherein sigma 1000 and sigma 300 denote magnetizations under magnetic field strength of 1000 oersted and 300 oersted, respectively.
